Re: [Electric Boats] Regen Success

 

There are two way to charge your house bank off the generator the first and most costly is a duel output alternator, the nice thing about this setup is each bank has its own voltage regulator, so you can tweak it to get the proper voltage at the battery/s being charged.  The other is one of these http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=17248&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=10109&subdeptNum=10544&classNum=10337 or this one http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=93176&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=10109&subdeptNum=10544&classNum=10337 The Blue Sea unit seems to be the more robust unit out there for the price. --- On Wed, 10/12/11, Steve Dolan <sdolan@scannersllc.com> wrote: Propulsion Bank size is 12 AGM's, Northstar 210Ah. But in addition to this I have 3 AGM's that charge from the Propulsion bank through a 144v to 12v charger. I also have 1 dedicated Decca battery for the genset. Currently I do not have this linked to the house bank but plan on installing an Echo Charger since I heard that the Alternator can feed back to the house bank to charge once the starter battery is fully charged through it. (Can anyone verify this?)
